Born and raised in Mexico City, I am a Cognitive Science undergrad student at Carnegie Mellon University with a passion to help build systems and tools that will enable people to live life on their own terms. The focus of my studies is in education and the design of educational tools, usually mobile or web. This means I learn what the theory says about how people learn, how to design a useful tool for a given stakeholder(s), how to prototype and test whether the tool was effective for that setting, and how to iterate on feedback.

I also enjoy meditation, journaling, dancing and occasionally juggling.
